Material | Cost-sensitive farms, indoor installations | Industry Standard: Stainless Steel 304 (ASTM A240) Our Base: Treated Pine Wood (ASTM D2244) Our Advanced: Hybrid Steel-Wood (ASTM A240 + D2244) | ▲ Base: 30% lighter, 20% cheaper than steel. ▲ Advanced: Combines durability (steel) with cost-efficiency (wood). | Base: Less corrosion-resistant in harsh environments. Advanced: Slightly heavier than pure wood. |
Noise Level | Residential aquaculture, hospitals | Industry: 50 dBA (louder than a quiet room) Base: 45 dBA (quieter than a refrigerator) Advanced: 40 dBA (quieter than a whisper) | ▲ Base: 10% quieter than industry. ▲ Advanced: 20% quieter than industry. | Advanced requires premium sound-dampening components, increasing cost. |
Energy Efficiency | Energy-conscious farms, eco-certified facilities | Industry: 80% efficiency (ISO 50001) Base: 85% efficiency (▲5% gain) Advanced: 90% efficiency (▲10% gain) | ▲ Base: Reduces energy costs by $150/year. ▲ Advanced: Meets Tier 3 energy standards. | Advanced consumes more upfront R&D investment. |
Bubble Size | High-precision aeration, premium hatcheries | Industry: 10–50 µm (ASTM D6785) Base: 5–30 µm (▲5 µm reduction) Advanced: 1–20 µm (▲40 µm reduction) | ▲ Base: Improves oxygen transfer by 25%. ▲ Advanced: Extends bubble lifespan by 40%. | Smaller bubbles in Advanced may clog filters if water isn’t pre-filtered. |
Warranty | Long-term contracts, industrial clients | Industry: 6 months Base: 1 year (▲6 months) Advanced: 2 years (▲1 year) | ▲ Base: Covers seasonal wear-and-tear. ▲ Advanced: Includes on-site maintenance. | Extended warranties add 15% to Advanced’s price. |
Chemical Resistance | Chemical-heavy environments, marine farms | Industry: Resists 20+ chemicals (ASTM D543) Base: Limited (wood not resistant) Advanced: Coated wood, 30+ chemicals (▲10 chemicals) | ▲ Advanced: Safely handles chlorine, ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide. | Base requires frequent cleaning in corrosive environments. |
